What are the lyrics of the song “Eye Of The Tiger”?”
Risin’ up, back on the street Did my time, took my chances Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet Just a man and his will to survive So many times, it happens too fast You trade your passion for glory Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past You must fight just to keep them alive [Chorus:] It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight Rising up to the challenge of our rival And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night And he’s watching us all with the eye of the tiger Face to face, out in the heat Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry They stack the odds, still we take to the street For the kill with the skill to survive [Chorus] Risin’ up, straight to the top Had the guts, got the glory Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop Just a man and his will to survive
